Cupid Love @Craftyscrappers!

Guys! Challenge #5 is live at Craftyscrappers!

Also, the results of Challenge #4 have been announced! ^__^

Check out the details - Here 

This is what I created for Challenge #5.

I have used the die-cut (Code : DC - AST - 17) by Craftyscrappers in this project.

Here's a look at the die-cut :

As you can see, I only wanted the words "Love You" for this project and so I trimmed the die-cut accordingly.

So, here's a cool close up with the steps to make it :

1. Created faux wings with washi tape bits.

2. Stamped, colored and cut out the heart from a Penny Black stamp.

3. Colored the die-cut, gave it a coat of glitter and adhered it to the cardstock.

4. Attached the faux wings to the heart and adhered the heart using foam to the cardstock. (I also added glitter dust to the tiny red heart and washi tape edges of the wings.)

5. Lastly, added a U pin, some washi tape bits, sequins and a tiny heart shaped sticker!

I hope you liked it! Do participate in our current Challenge #5 @Craftyscrappers for a chance to win some awesome prizes!

New Challenge @ Craftyscrappers

Hello hello! ^__^

It's time for a brand new challenge at Craftyscrappers!

Theme - Challenge #4 - Black and white with a hint of color.

I made a CAS card for this challenge, using the pretty flower die-cut, Code - DC - FLW - 16.

I wanted a geometric, abstract look and what better to combine it with than a pretty flower?  

Steps :

1. The colors moving from black to grey are actually stenciled (Kaisercraft Quarters Stencil) using 3 different inks by Hero Arts. (Black, Charcoal and Soft Granite.)

2. The Flower Die-cut is by Craftyscrappers, Code - DC -FLW - 16 which I have tinted red and given a holo glitter finish.

3. Did a bit of masking using grey, black and red inks and added a couple of sequins after adhering the flower.

4. Stamped sentiment. (It's actually a larger sentiment, I inked only part of it because I only wanted Congratulations on my card.)
This stamp is called - "Congratulations on becoming a new" by So Suzy Stamps.

5. Lastly, added a white brad for the flower center and black glitter to sentiment!

So, I hope to see you participate, click here for the deets!

Till next time! *Hugs*

Remember the Rainbow Challenge over at Craftyscrappers?

Wha... no? Click >>> Here 

It ends soon, so hurry and upload your entries, I am looking forward to seeing you there! ^__^

This is a little inspiration to get you started.

Call it whatever, a tag / bookmark / scrapbook insert, I deliberately made it flat so that it can be multi-functional.

Ah, but yes, there was no rule about sparing the glitter, right?! :D

Steps :

1. Matted white cardstock on red, trimmed and added lace at the bottom. (I think that lace gives the project an added something something, what say?)

2. Punched a hole on top and added sheer red and satin red ribbons. (I did seal the hole with an eyelet.)

3. The lovely sentiment is a die-cut from Craftyscrappers (Code : DC - PS - 42)

Check this picture out!

Yeah this is the die-cut that I used. I only wanted the love bit so I trimmed it! ^__^

4. Then I tinted it in two shades of red gave it a nice coat of glitter and adhered it to cardstock.

5. Punched out some pretty butterflies using my Martha Stewart 3 in 1 butterfly paper punch in bright rainbow shades and adhered to cardstock.

6. After that stamped some pretty swirls in red using an old Inkadinkado stamp. (Sorry, I discarded the packing and have forgotten the name but it's a cling stamp.)

Of course I gave the butterflies and the swirls a generous dose of shimmer too!

And that's it! Don't forget to participate, incase you missed, here's the link once again >>>> Here.

Till next time, have an awesome day! *Hugs*
